this weeks brawl

any alliance having luck in this weeks brawl?
I'm at 2 wins 4 losses with it atm. (2-2 on this character 0-2 on another, both horde side) So I'd say some are having luck with it.

My first 2 ques made me laugh. The first que we completely slaughed the enemy team. The second que was a replay of the first, except the roles were reversed. It was like my team was a bunch of unarmed hobos fighting an oncoming train. It's not often I laugh at a loss, but I totally did.
Got it on my second attempt. Shield of Virtue, Hammer of Justice, and Steed of Glory all over their healers. Blessing of Protection, Blessing of Sacrifice, Lay on Hands on our healers. Blessing of Freedom on some glorious Warrior sporting the Gladiator title.
One and done lol. Not my type of brawl. Bring on Hotmogu!!
First one today was a win.
It's random. Got 2 wins (first one didn't count for some reason even though i wasn't in raid grp or anything).

The mistake i see people make is that they're used to random bg style play and everyone blows their wad right out the gate. The team that win always manages to los / fall back and heal up against enemy cd's.

A few people from their team overextend and get killed and within seconds they lose offensive pressure and get behind. I also had a pally healer on my team bubble me allowing me to freely use tranquility, so that was pretty cool.
One loss, one win. While I was smarter in the second one - I used arena tactics instead of Isle of Conquest center battle tactics - I'm pretty sure the difference was that we had twice as many healers the second time,
My lock won her first attempt.
took 3 attempts. first was 1 sided, second close and third we wiped them without anyone dying.
Lost one.

Won one.
Trust me, this brawl has nothing to do with faction and everything to do with how well each team understands rudimentary arena tactics.
Won all but two last night.
I've won so much cuz I've tanked perfect with aoe silences every 45 secs and illumination. We've won even without healers like a lot.

Don't suck, play better and clever. There are no secrets.
And if you war play prot. You'll dps well and your safety will be so high.
RNG determines if you win

#1)Players not being too BG minded and actually using Arena strategy
#2)Healers (Been in lopsided games where one side has more than the other)
#3)Way too undergeared. If your team has 2 or 3 players looking to get carried with their 267 item level average you're prob not winning.
Seven Brawls so far, today. Six won by alliance. Blizzard matchmaking at its usual finest... *throws up*
1 for 4. In the losses a few people decided a good strat was to trickle in one at a time.

In the victory we stayed together. I was able to grip a healer and the reds had a few DHs over extend so we stunned and killed 4 real quick then steam rolled them.

not sure why put me on my warrior to post, but I was doing them on my alli rogue, took 5 attempts to get a win then had to do a 6th cause the 1st win didn't count

You shouldn't be running Luminescence if your team has no healers. It only activates from heals from your allies. Very few dps are able to generate any significant healing on you and even fewer are going to sacrifice their offense or survival for the sake of keeping a tank alive.

The only way that works is if you que with 5+ other tanks. Pve lords get caught with bad positioning in this thing and get cut off from their heals and killed in smoke bomb stunlocks for their over confidence.
